OMG! The leftists and never trumpers on here would complain if they found out trump wiped from the front to the back instead of from the back to the front or side to side. There is absolutely NOTHING you people won't criticize about President Trump. It genuinely is nonstop TDS.
But then again, that's just MY opinion, for what it's worth.
Are you really surprised there is corruption in relation to lucrative Govt contracts and who wins them? LOL This was the norm long before trump came along and will be after he is long gone too, thats how business is done in the US.

It is as if everyone forgot the Air Force refueling plane fiasco.

Microsoft was awarded the Defense Department’s 10-year JEDI cloud computing project over Amazon, whose founder, Jeff Bezos, has been a target of President Trump’s criticism. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/25/t...-contract.html
Amazon AWS is a direct competitor of Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM Cloud. These all provide the three key options of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS, in greater or lesser degrees and with better and worse ficuses, Microsoft's PaaS (platform) and IaaS (infrastructure), are pretty much top of the four, given they own the Windows OS, and Hyper-V. It's also real world tested in large scale apps and security with Office 365, Xbox Live, OneDrive, Bing, Hotmail/Outlook all residing on Microsofts cloud. It also hosts applications that can be accessed via proprietary protocols, is FedRAMP platform compliant, and integrated with Visual Studio and Git.
AWS by comparison relies heavily on HTTP, REST and SOAP, has less support for proprietary protocols, and is not platform FedRAMP compliant (some services meet compliance, but not the platform) and little integration with popular tools. Amazon will allow Windows in the EC2 tier, but this is reserved and not priced based on computing units.
I wouldn't put the choice down to a like or dislike of Amazons CEO, more than likely Microsoft having high impact FedRAMP ATO (for highly sensitive data) is key. Then integration with common tools.
Anyway that all said its a $10B contract over a decade, that's pretty small potatoes for either company. At $1B a year revenue it's less than 1% of company revenues.
